MARCH CPIF +6.1% Y/Y, +1.7% M/M; FEB +4.5% Y/Y
- Swedish inflation hit +6.1% y/y in March, a 1991 high. This was up 1.6pp compared to Feb and significantly outpaced the forecast of +5.5% y/y.
- Core CPIF rose to +4.1% y/y in March from +3.4% y/y.
- Electricity and fuel prices were the key upwards drivers, contributing 0.8pp to the m/m increase, followed by food (+0.3pp).
- The Riksbank is due to meet on April 27 for their second meeting of the year, following the dovish February decision.
- Some analysts were already starting to look for an April hike and this higher inflation print is likely to increase market expectations of a more activist Riksbank.
